> When using "CREATE TABLE x AS SELECT ..." where the select joins tables with
> hundreds of columns it is not a simple task to resolve duplicate column name
> exceptions (particularly with self-joins). The user must either manually
> specify aliases for all duplicate columns (potentially hundreds) or write a
> script to generate the data set in a separate select query, then create the
> table and load the data in.
> There should be some conf flag that would allow queries like
> "create table joined as select one.\*, two.\* from mytable one join mytable
> two on (one.duplicate_field = two.duplicate_field1);"
> to create a table with columns one_duplicate_field and two_duplicate_field.
